    Very weird issue with ACER Aspire A6 Desktop

    I have a job that I am trying to re-format...

    The PC has 1tb drive on it and works with no issues (win10)

    I switched this drive with an SSD, tried to format with Windows 10,

    . Tried usual method (WDS, that's how I format computers all the time) pc reboots right after copying files, first reboot at windows logo. Then goes into reboot loop until the blue screen.
    . Tried to install from USB, DVD etc. it freezes on setup loading windows logo.
    . Tried both legacy and uefi methods, same happens.

    If I go back to old disk windows loads everything works,
    If I put the SSD and try to re-format either it freezes (with usb etc) or reboots at first reboot.

    It is really annoying, I noticed the old drive has 100mb partition and the new one has 500 as boot manager. Any tips on this situation or specific model. (I will be running memtest just to make sure the ram is ok.)

      Probably a driver issue; chipset or IME (assuming its an Intel); but the 'A6' suggests its an AMD...but I'm still thinking it's a driver issue. May have to slipstream the chipset & HDD controller drivers into your Windows image.

          Dell G3 17 3779 Weird power cycling and shutdown/restart issue
          by SuperJames
          This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

          Specs

          i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

          Backstory

          I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...

          820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
          by ugamazing
          So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

          1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

          2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
